Smart Styling for the Web

Overview

This intermediate-level course in web design and development takes visual form and actions to greater depth.

It provides hands-on practical knowledge and experience of applying style to the latest standard CSS3 alongside HTML5 and the public JavaScript library jQuery.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and client-side scripts have transformed the look of the web, giving designers and developers outstanding control of website presentation and behaviour across many devices from desktop PCs to mobile phones and tablets.

The short course is designed for students who have some experience of designing and building web pages using HTML such as that provided by the ''Website in a Weekend' course.

Students will have experience and competence in using Microsoft Windows, files and folders, HTML and CSS.

During the weekend course students will undertake exercises to develop their understanding and confidence with the core concepts of web development using standards based methods and tools.

Participants are asked to bring an external storage device, e.g. USB stick, for this short course in web design and web development.
